You may also have a superstitious fear of something happening if you don’t do something, like going into the woods at night because you think there might be vampires there.
Superstitions often follow rituals and customs; for example, many people believe that if you spill salt over your shoulder it will bring bad luck. This ritual can occur even when no one else knows about it—it is still considered a custom that some people follow despite having no real evidence of its effectiveness (or lack thereof).
Statues of a person can symbolize their strengths and their weaknesses.
You can also use statues to symbolize a person’s flaws. For example, if someone is known for being arrogant or loud, you could make a statue of them with an over-inflated ego. If someone is known for being kind and helpful, you could make a statue of them helping others.
